9-30-15 HY: ChaLEAN Extreme- Dynamic Flow Yoga + Splits + TCF.

Mid-week recovery days are dessert! 

This was another new ChaLEAN Extreme Deluxe routine. Time wise, this routine fits perfectly right in the middle of a pack of my yoga routines. I've got a 20min., 30min., now, a 40min. Then it jumps to 70min. and 90min.  But this was awesome with a lot of new and different variations on standard moves.  I didn't have the weighted gloves this time, but it was actually a good thing because my shoulders were just killing me at the end.  I was able to get through the whole routine pretty well, but when I got the the last progression with the Triangle Pose, I started to cramp up in my hip flexor and had to come out of the pose and shake it out.  It happened on both sides. The 90 degree drop was new.  Now that I know what the routine is like, I may get some wrist weights and give it a try with them the next time around.  And yes, there WILL be a next time.

I had a time crunch so I wasn't able to do my splits and Flow until after work.  But I was very happy that I was able to get right to my mark right off the bat.  Got to keep pushing the lows.  I also had a good and virtually perfect set of Flows. 

I tried this routine with a HRM to see what my calorie burn was like, so in the end, just the yoga burned 245kcals.  Not bad.  But I felt really good today, energized for the day.

Oh, and my shins were really sore from the tennis yesterday.  All that stop and go movement really worked my legs in a different way.
